Seller motivation level

Justin Griffin
Posted

got in touch with seller via cold call.  He knew I was whole sailing right away. At first I had a oh no feeling especially after he said his price witch was 40k away from being good. 

Then using some tactics learned from BP and others , i got him to open up. 

Motivation- wants to retire. Wants to move to wife's 'home country'. Mad at taxes(not that late[under 2k] but consistently late over the past 10 years. ) it sounds like real estate isn't what he thought it would be. Probably never heard of BP lol. 

During conversation touched on his other props but was tight lipped. 

Sent him email after call and asked for addresses of the other props.
*At this point I feel he might be missing with me but I feel I can work this over time if not, I'm still going for it. 

today(2 days later but 1 day before follow up call is scheduled for)  he sends me reply email with addresses of the other 2 properties he said he owns. 1 of the addresses is according to county site, his house. 

I'm a newbie so I'm still working on keeping out  emotion and over thinking/ analyzing info.

I'm not sure if he's messing with me or he ready.
